Anyone who has just read my emotional review of Campbell's Tomato Juice won't be surprised to learn that I like THIS stuff too ... an 11 oz. can of Campbell's V-8 Vegetable Juice, a loaf of bread, and Viggo Mortensen beside me in the wilderness would be enough for me!

Campbell's considers an 11 oz. can to be one serving which contains 70 calories with zero calories from fat, zero grams each total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, 880 mg. sodium, 720 grams potassium, 15 grams total carbs, three grams dietary fiber, ten gram sugars, and three grams protein.   Vitamins and minerals include:  60% (D.V.) Vitamin A, 140% Vitamin C, 6% calcium, and 4% iron.

TASTE TIP:

You won't be surprised to learn that I like a splash of lemon juice (and perhaps a stalk of celery to stir with) in either V-8 and Tomato Juice.  I realize there is a lot of sodium in this beverage.  It may be that you would enjoy the lower sodium versions if you don't care for salt or if you must severely restrict your sodium intake.  Maybe someday I'll try to get used to the taste of those healthier alternatives myself but until then, I'll sacrifice on sodium somewhere else during the day to enjoy a can of this now and then.

Yep that and even a tad bit of beef bullion will kick it up a notch! ;)

My dad used to throw in a slug of Worcestershire sauce! It sounds crazy but it worked. That's why I say men are such wonderful cooks, they're very adventurous about trying things.

My Dad used to be really daring -- threw in a slug of Worcestershire sauce!

I like lemon in it but I also like to add a dash of hot sauce to it for a little kick! ;)

A splash of Vodka is also good. ;>
